Kenya confirms second Ebola virus case

The Kenyan Ministry of Health has officially confirmed a second case of the Ebola virus in the country. The patient is a 39-year-old male who is a close relative of the first victim and was already being monitored in quarantine. Authorities stated that early detection of symptoms increases his chances of recovery and limits potential community spread. Currently, health officials are actively tracking and monitoring 128 individuals who had contact with the first patient. The Ministry emphasized that both cases are linked and that there is no wider community outbreak, urging the public to remain calm and cautious.
